Rock Climbing

this is not secure

this is not secure

this is not secure

this happiness is shaky – camera footage –

blurred, with shots of grass and path –

this is not secure

this is not secure

this is not secure

absolute trust

like the alcohol we drank –

pure, unfiltered

but you chipped,

chipped away

asking things of me

i was not comfortable with

i knew to obey,

to do as i was told

because that was normal,

to do anything different would have been breaking the habit of a lifetime –
